Project Information

Marine Drive NW has been talked about in West Salem for nearly 30 years. This project will extend Marine Drive from Harritt Drive NW to 5th Avenue NW and include a new multi-use pedestrian path connected to Wallace Marine Park. 

The new street will include two travel lanes, a sidewalk on the westerly side, a 12' multi-use path on the easterly side, stormwater treatment facilities, and streetlights.  An initial phase of the project will be constructed this year at Harritt Drive NW to coincide with the Applegate Veterans Housing project.  Design is underway now. The new minor arterial will help alleviate local traffic on Wallace Marine Drive NW and provide a transportation option to shopping, restaurants, parks, and housingfor those who would prefer to walk or bike.

Construction of the remaining portion of the project is planned to begin in 2027.
